Yes.

Global means evict the page in RAM with the lowest "last_accessed" time. Local means evict the page from the same process in RAM with the lowest "last_accessed" time (e.g. If you are loading process 0 onto RAM and RAM is full and RAM contains other pages of process 0, then evict the page of process 0 with the lowest "last_accessed" time to make room for the new page on process 0).
